Design (CAD)
Drawing Hard
• What are mechanical drawing?

It is traditionally called blueprint


because of the bluish dye used
in making copies, are architectural
or engineering plans created with
hard tools.

Drawing Soft

• CAD is a well-known acronym that


stands for Computer Aided Design.
• CAD is defined as “the creation,
modification, analysis or optimization
of a design with the use of
computers”
Drawing Soft

• It is not only involves creating


drawing on a computer, but it also
aids in properly showing the
information represent by the
drawing.

ACTIVITY: Soft and Hard [Link]


CAD Vs. Manual Drawing

First are methodological differences.


• When drawing objects manually, the
whole object is created on paper
using a chosen drawing tool like the
pencil and ruler.
CAD Vs. Manual Drawing

First are methodological differences.


• With CAD, the user only needs to
indicate specific points, locations and
measurements in the drawing space,
then the computer generates or
draws the objects on its own
CAD Vs. Manual Drawing

Second are fundamental differences.


• All manually drawn objects are
not as exact in measurement as
those objects drawn using the
computer.
